The Damned return to Dublin

Legendary punk outfit The Damned are back in Dublin on August 26 for a show in The Academy, tickets for which are €25 and go on sale on Friday.
The first UK punk band to release a single – ‘New Rose’ dropped five weeks before the Sex Pistols’ ‘Anarchy In The UK’ – their ranks still include founder members Dave Vanian and Captain Sensible.
Their crazy life and times were chronicled last year by Don’t You Wish That We Were Dead, a superb doc from Lemmy: The Movie director Wes Orshoski.
